Forgive me America.

The debate last night brought many terrible conditions in America to light. Most of us know about these problems but having them kicked around from so many different angles seemed to escalate each problem to new heights. I feel for the Americans that are not well grounded in the Christian faith. These people are being pounded with catastrophic worries and monumental disasters with no real remedy to slow the inevitable doom and destruction. In the clear light of this new day I have discovered the solution to this whole mess. I am the remedy. If I will pray more, eat less, stop borrowing, grow my own food, pray according to God's revealed will, care for my neighbor, listen to my wife, share my faith, pray until I conquer my ego, drive less & walk more, vote the moral (bible moral) vote, and sing songs of praise and worship unto God, all this mess will level out. Forgive me America......I will get started......now!

S.       41 But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold; all things are clean unto you.42 But woe unto you, Pharisees! For ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.43 Woe unto you, Pharisees! For ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.44 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.

       45 Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproaches us also .46 And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! For ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.47 Woe unto you! For ye build the sepulchers of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.48 truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchers.

O.      Jesus rebukes hypocrisy. 

A.      I will strive to avoid hypocrisy. I will not demand anything of others that I myself would avoid. I will repent quickly should someone uncover hypocrisy in me.

P.       Father in Heaven; reveal my weakness, open my eyes and keep me from walking in any form of hypocrisy. Amen.
